Nature on the table
The beautiful ceramic colors differently each time in natural light. The combination with a weathered stump, spent grasses and seed pods on Kenzan toothpicks and the beautiful French Tulipa 'Jonquieres' makes it a (table) arrangement that continues to fascinate, and bloom.
Tantalizing
An upright structure made from thorny branches of a rose bush. They are connected with 1.8 mm metal wire drilled through the stems. The whole stands in a bowl, free in the water on a large kenzan. This beautiful transparent form has an unusual interplay of lines. Inserted into the form are Clematis Amazing Kansas flowers. To enhance the interplay of lines, the leaves of the Clematis have been removed.
Naturally fused
Over an open organic form made of black pokes (1.4 mm) is woven a basket form of Clematis tendrils. Attaching elder branches to this will keep this basic form standing by itself. Next, Clematis Amazing Tokyo flowers are attached in a natural growth form over the braided Clematis tendrils, moving with the movement of the object. The stems of the tulips and Ranunculus were inserted through the frame directly into the water. All flower species have their own height so that natural groups are created, giving the whole object a very natural look.
Freestanding
The structure of Cornus branches appears as if floating and very light. To achieve this effect, black pokes (1.8 mm) were drilled into a weathered block of wood, and the Cornus branches were impaled on the pokes. The whole is given strength by connecting each Cornus stem in at least three places with bindwire and pierced with pieces of black pokes. The flowers, Papaver, Clematis Amazing Kansas, Tulipa, Ranunculus, are placed only at the top to show off the structure and make the whole look elegant.
Water source
By connecting branches of elder (Sambucus) with wire, an open branch structure was created in this vase. In the openings, Delphinium 'Guardian Lavender,' Delphinium 'Bella Andes Azure,' Clematis Amazing 'Star River,' Eryngium and Pennisetum were grouped in parallel and inserted directly into the water.
Today's time
In the background, a piece of wooden beam (leftover wood), in a regular rhythm, a number of gold-colored metal fern-like leaves are placed: very tightly straight up. On the contrary, to create a nice contrast between the two elements, the flowers are placed organically. The arrangement symbolizes the times of today where the golden ferns are the people, and the flowers are the surrounding nature. Very different and yet not clashing, they form a beautiful whole.
